Chapter 210 – Where did the moon come from?
Leng Feiyan was caught off guard by this sudden move.
Lin Jichen seemed not to have learned his lesson from last time, still so bold.
Of course, this time he had more confidence.
A 55-point affection level was his confidence.
Their relationship was already quite special, and besides, he was just holding her hand, not doing anything too outrageous.
Like stealing his master's underwear or something.
Before Leng Feiyan could react, Lin Jichen held her delicate hand, his face full of sorrow.
"So, all departures are premeditated. Master, are you also planning to leave me?"
Leng Feiyan: "????"
Seeing Lin Jichen's sorrowful expression, Leng Feiyan couldn't help but explain, "I'm not leaving you, just going into seclusion for a while."
"Really?" Lin Jichen's eyes were clear, full of emotion, without any pretense.
Leng Feiyan believed him, smiling as she said, "Of course it's true. How could I bear to... I mean, how could I leave you?"
Realizing she had misspoken, Leng Feiyan's face turned even redder, looking stunningly beautiful, almost making Lin Jichen lose his composure.
"Master, be careful during your seclusion. I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes, even if it takes forever, even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble! I will wait for you!"
Leng Feiyan's heart fluttered at his heartfelt words, feeling a bit flustered.
"I'm only going into seclusion for a short while, it won't be too long."
"But have you ever heard of 'not seeing each other for a day feels like madness'?" Lin Jichen asked.
Leng Feiyan's gaze turned adorably blank for a moment, then her eyebrows trembled slightly as she said, "I... understand..."
After speaking, she quietly withdrew her hand.
Ever since her disciple crossed his tribulation, she always felt that he was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, especially when he looked at her so affectionately, making it hard for her to resist.
Just as Lin Jichen was about to intensify his efforts, he heard a pleasant notification sound.
[Ding! Leng Feiyan's affection level for you +5! Current affection level: 60 points (Intimate)]
Hehe! Finally gained some more affection points!
He just wanted to make one last effort before his master went into seclusion to see if he could increase it a bit more.
The thought of not seeing his fairy-like master for half a month or even a month made his heart itch like it was being scratched by a cat.
"Um... Master, when will you go into seclusion?"
"Tomorrow. I need to instruct the senior uncles to manage the Sword Sect well and handle some sect affairs." Leng Feiyan replied.
"Then there's still some time. Master, would you like to go see the moon with me? It's very round tonight!" Lin Jichen invited.
Leng Feiyan looked out the window at the night sky, smiling as she asked, "Where's the moon?"
Lin Jichen turned his head and saw nothing but dark clouds. It looked like it would rain tomorrow, not a single star in sight.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Never mind, I'll just go back then."
He turned to leave.
But Leng Feiyan's voice came from behind.
"Forget about the moon, but we can enjoy the mountain breeze. If you have any questions about cultivation, I can answer them for you."
Lin Jichen was delighted, "Great! That's wonderful!"
Soon, the two of them appeared on a mountain peak.
This was the highest peak of the Taiyin Mountain Range. Standing here, the sky seemed within reach.
From here, they could even see the brightly lit Fengqu City at night.
Even though the two places were nearly a hundred miles apart.
A great river flowed by, its surface wide, stretching thousands of miles, with a magnificent view.
Lin Jichen and Leng Feiyan stood at the edge of the cliff.
Leng Feiyan suddenly asked, "Looking down from here, what do you feel?"
Lin Jichen looked at the scenery below and the distant city, remained silent for a moment, then said, "Only from the peak can one see the great river flowing above the mountains, feel the vastness of the long wind. The path of cultivation should inspire oneself in this way."
Leng Feiyan nodded in satisfaction, "With such ambition, I am relieved."
Then, silence.
The two sat on a stone stool, quietly admiring the beautiful night view.
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words, both enjoying this peaceful moment.
Leng Feiyan was not one to talk much. Ever since she took Lin Jichen as her disciple, she had spoken more in this period than she had in her entire life.
